Chapter 460 - Chapter 459: Practical Combat, Uchiha Ju vs. Uchiha Itachi

The morning passed in the blink of an eye. Uchiha Sasuke listened as if intoxicated, his densely filled notebook proving his seriousness.

Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but sigh. Sasuke had absolutely maximized his teaching experience. Although Uchiha Ju was also listening, her memory was very strong. She remembered everything after hearing it once.

But compared to Sasuke who was frantically taking notes, Sasuke gave Uchiha Shisui a greater sense of accomplishment in terms of perception.

By noon, Uchiha Ju stretched, then stood up and walked towards the sofa. Seeing the notes Uchiha Sasuke had taken, she couldn't help but be shocked. Was there this much?

Wow. Shisui-nii talked about so much. I didn't think it was much while listening, but now looking at Sasuke, I suddenly feel so amazing.

Uchiha Sasuke seemed to notice Uchiha Ju's gaze. He looked up and saw Uchiha Ju standing in front of his desk, looking down at what he had written.

"Hey, hey. You didn't take notes." Uchiha Sasuke pettishly put away his notebook and covered it.

Uchiha Ju was amused by his action. "No, I didn't."

"Hmph." Uchiha Sasuke didn't say anything. He stood up and walked towards his brother. Uchiha Itachi sighed and then gave Uchiha Sasuke a flick on the forehead.

"Ow. Nii-san, what was that for." Uchiha Sasuke covered his forehead, protesting.

"How are you talking to your Ju-nee. Do you really think she wasn't listening seriously just because she didn't take notes." Uchiha Itachi said with a smile.

Uchiha Sasuke felt his older brother was being too outrageous, easily seeing through his thoughts.

"Your Ju-nee has a very strong memory. Everything that was just taught is already memorized in her head." Uchiha Itachi added.

Uchiha Sasuke was stunned. Really. That difficult, obscure, and hard to understand stuff, she remembered all of it.

He couldn't help but look at Uchiha Ju. Uchiha Ju blinked and smiled at him.

Uchiha Sasuke turned his head away again. Uchiha Ju pouted. Fine, ignore me. I'll go look at the scenery, feel the breeze.

Uchiha Ju snorted and walked out of the classroom. She pushed open the corridor window. Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in, lifting the girl's long hair.

Uchiha Itachi, who had followed her out, smelled this fragrance and saw the girl like this. His heart thumped, thumped, thumped.

Uchiha Ju seemed to feel the gaze from behind. She turned and saw it was Uchiha Itachi. Thinking he had something to talk to her about, she smiled. "Itachi-nii, what is it."

Uchiha Itachi felt somewhat uneasy inside, but on the surface he was steady. "I wanted to ask, what would Ju-ju like to eat for lunch. I'll order takeout in a moment."

Uchiha Ju thought for a moment. "Let's have the sweet and sour pork from Guofeng's place. It's sour and sweet, very appetizing."

Uchiha Itachi nodded, then started dialing the phone. Uchiha Ju watched Uchiha Itachi's serious expression while on the phone, the corner of her mouth lifting.

Then she looked out the window. It was very high up here, with a view of many things. The Hokage Building, Konoha Hospital. Huh. Wait. That's dad.

She focused her gaze. Ryun walked in front of the Hokage Building. Different from at home, his expression was now serious, his eyes sharp.

The shinobi guarding the Hokage Building immediately knelt on one knee, paying their respects.

This shocked Uchiha Ju. Could her eyes be playing tricks on her.

Ryun came to the Hokage Building today to handle the invitation for the Fourth Raikage's succession ceremony. Originally he didn't want to come, but Nara Luming insisted on dragging him, saying this matter was very important.

So, here he was. At this moment, Ryun had a helpless look on his face. Behind him followed Nara Luming, with an expression that said if you don't go, I quit.

Suddenly, Ryun felt someone observing him from afar. He abruptly turned his head, his left hand moving to his forehead. His eyes opened, the Sharingan activating, then transforming into a six-tomoe wheel pattern.

Uchiha Ju hurriedly closed the window, but it was a step too late. Ryun had seen her.

"Luming, you have to treat me to a big meal later, the kind where I don't pay. Because of you, my daughter seems to have discovered my identity." Ryun said to Nara Luming.

Nara Luming was stunned for a moment, then said, "No way. You, you still haven't told your daughter that you are the Hokage."

"No. Besides, me being Hokage, farmers farming, aren't we all serving Konoha Village. There's no essential difference." Ryun said flatly.

Nara Luming's mouth twitched. Then he recalled the past few years of Ryun's administration. It did seem to be like this. He never used any special privileges, no different from ordinary officials.

Instantly, Nara Luming felt admiration for the level of Ryun's ideological awareness.

But, even so, the matter of the Kumo-nin Village Raikage succession ceremony had to be resolved. After all, they had already sent the invitation. As the number one village in the ninja world, they had to go.

So, after some playful banter between Nara Luming and Ryun, they smilingly walked into the Hokage Building.

Uchiha Ju took a deep breath. Although she didn't know exactly what her father did, she originally guessed he was an official. Today, Ryun appeared at the Hokage Building, so this matter wasn't simple.

Officials at the Hokage Building were not ordinary. Either they served the Hokage-sama directly, or they were heads of various departments who could go there.

So that meant her father was a high ranking official. I have connections up top. Uchiha Ju's eyes lit up.

(Ryun: Ahem, there's actually no one above me.)

Uchiha Itachi saw Uchiha Ju's unusual behavior. After placing the order and putting down his phone, he quickly stepped forward to ask, "Ju-ju, what did you see just now. Why are you so tense."

Uchiha Itachi frowned, wondering who had scared our Ju-ju.

Uchiha Ju was somewhat excited. She grabbed Uchiha Itachi's arm. "Itachi-nii. I just saw my dad." Her eyes shone with a bright light.

"Your dad." Uchiha Itachi's heart jumped. He was about to push open the window, then thought of something and suddenly stopped.

"Where did you see him." Uchiha Itachi slowly asked.

"The Hokage Building. Itachi-nii, tell me, is my dad a high ranking official. Just now I saw the shinobi guarding the Hokage Building, they all saluted him. Is his rank very high. Do I have a backer now." Uchiha Ju was excited.

"Back...er." Uchiha Itachi's mouth twitched. This was more like a backer nuclear bomb. If only you knew, your dad has no one above him. He is the Hokage of Konoha.

"Per, perhaps. It could also be that he has a mission requiring him there. Regardless, this kind of matter needs you to confirm it personally." Uchiha Itachi said.

Uchiha Ju nodded. "True. I wonder if dad saw me. His reaction was really sharp. If I had been any slower, he might have seen me."

Uchiha Itachi thought to himself, he probably already saw you. Ryun's perception and acuity, it would be strange if he didn't see.

"Alright, don't think about it for now. Get ready to eat soon. After eating, you still have to do practical combat training with me." Uchiha Itachi changed the subject.

Uchiha Ju nodded. "Right. Then let's go." Uchiha Ju smiled slightly.

Uchiha Itachi nodded. The two returned to the classroom and tacitly didn't bring up the matter again.

Afternoon.

Uchiha Itachi stood on the training ground. At this moment, he wore the standard Anbu inner wear, perfectly fitting his body, causing his astonishing physique to be faintly visible beneath the armor's cover.

Some young girls even pretended to have stomach aches during class to come watch the fight, just to see the handsome guy.

Uchiha Ju wore a short skirt, her black long hair draped over her shoulders. Her figure was slender but not lacking beauty, her fair skin dazzling.

"Brother, go for it." Uchiha Sasuke cheered, as if he himself were fighting Uchiha Ju.

Uchiha Itachi smiled slightly. "Ju-ju, form the seals."

Uchiha Ju frowned and nodded. Facing Uchiha Itachi, she had to go all out. She still remembered the technique Uchiha Itachi used to protect her some time ago.

That red skeleton. Although she was the one being protected, she truly felt how powerful the energy inside was.

Uchiha Ju formed the Seal of Confrontation. Uchiha Itachi also became serious and formed the Seal of Confrontation.

The formalities were complete. Next, it was time for the fight.

Uchiha Ju stepped on the ground with her right foot. Her forward speed was difficult for the naked eye to follow.

Uchiha Itachi's pupils contracted. Straight in. No trick. He performed the Crow Substitution Technique.

Uchiha Ju attacked with full force. Super Strength. Mountain Crushing Fist. Just as her young fist was about to land on Uchiha Itachi, he disappeared, turning into over a dozen crows.

"Substitution Technique." Uchiha Ju was startled internally. She clapped her hands together. "Fire Release. Great Fire Annihilation." She directly turned her head and spewed out high temperature flames.

Uchiha Itachi, who originally wanted to ambush, didn't expect Uchiha Ju to directly release a jutsu towards her rear. Uchiha Itachi used the Substitution Technique again.

This time he didn't use the Crow Substitution, but a wooden log replaced his original position.

The wooden log was instantly reduced to ashes by the heat of the Great Fire Annihilation.

Uchiha Itachi's figure disappeared again. Uchiha Ju looked around left and right, didn't see him, and felt somewhat flustered.

Suddenly she felt danger from below. So she used the Heavenly Foot of Pain, starting from zero frames, aiming directly beneath her.

Uchiha Itachi, underground, was silent. What was going on. Uchiha Ju could even predict an underground ambush.

Uchiha Itachi's original plan was to use the Heart Decapitation Technique to make Uchiha Ju concede defeat. But just as he got close, the Heavenly Foot of Pain came down.

Seeing there was no time to dodge, Uchiha Itachi raised his arm, planning to forcefully block the move.

But Uchiha Ju suddenly pulled back her strength, then squatted down, reaching out her hand towards Uchiha Itachi.

Uchiha Itachi was stunned for a moment, then the corner of his mouth lifted. He took the hand Uchiha Ju offered.

Uchiha Itachi felt a great force transmitted. Uchiha Ju pulled him out.

"Really, it's just a practical training. How come you used a technique like that. Look how dirty your clothes are now." Uchiha Ju pouted.

She, Uchiha Ju, knew about the Heart Decapitation Technique. She knew this jutsu was practical, but she would never use it. Because it would dirty her clothes.
